Does anyone know of a program to convert a flash file to a screensaver on a mac for free?

Because you never googled it.

I've looked through quite a few, and none of them seem to work with Snow Leopard. sad

Yeah, me too.

BTW, this is for the ScratchSaver.

If it says 10.5 (Leopard) and/or 10.6 (Snow Leopard), it should work.

There is a way to do it by installing the AIR file and then a Mac screensaver called ScriptSaver which runs AppleScript files when the screensaver activates. You can direct it to a "launch screensaver" AppleScript file containing this:

Code:

tell application "ScratchSaver"
  activate
end tell

It works, sorta, but it sure would be nice to have a one-click install package. hmm

It's weird, but one of them claims to work with 10.5 but doesn't work at all with 10.6. I understand they've done major graphics architecture upgrades for Snow Leopard but it bugs me that Intel-based software isn't playing nice between versions of the same OS.

Why don't you just put that on the thread first, and when (or if) we find one, we can use that one...

You can easily get a free Flash to exe converter, and then you just have to change the file extension to scr.
